New DIGI+ Power Control - All-New Digital Power Control for both CPU and
DRAM

ASUS SSD Caching - 3X faster performance at a click

USB BIOS Flashback - Easy, worry-free USB BIOS Flashback

Windows 8 Ready – Assured Compatibility

Instant OS Login

ASUS has released new hardware and software designs to shorten system boot-up
time to 2-seconds* for a smoother user experience that removes annoying delays
under Windows 8, and even previous versions of Windows. Faster system boot and
restart means Windows starts quicker and higher efficiency - No more waiting
around.

Multi-startup Options

Thanks to ASUS Windows 8 hardware optimization, ASUS Boot Setting provides
better flexibility in customizing your PCs startup process. You can enter the
BIOS directly with one click through a user-friendly interface, and quickly
select your preferred system boot up method: either get to the OS in seconds or
opt for regular boot up. Whatever your choice, settings are saved and
persistent, with no need to choose every time you power on.

Total Airflow-Boosting Heat Dissipation

New generation TUF Thermal Armor kicks cooling up a notch with dual
integrated Turbo Engine fans. This enhances the original TUF thermal design,
helping direct heat away from MOS area components and out the case via the rear
I/O section. Special heat pipes propel dissipation from critical components and
make sure temps stay low across the board. The Thermal Armor also provides
modders and LAN party goers an extra-cool dress up option to show off their
creativity and dedication to performance.

Real Time Temp Detection and Heat Removal

The TUF Thermal Radar monitors temps in critical parts of the motherboard in
real time, automatically adjusting fan speeds to make sure the system maintains
high stability without overheating. It consists of multiple sensors for various
components on the motherboard, giving users the ability to monitor each one
individually. The Thermal Radar automatically calculates ideal fan speeds based
on different parameters selected by users for each component, keeping everything
cooler and longer lasting.

All-New Digital Power Control for both CPU and DRAM

ASUS X79 motherboards include New DIGI+ Power Control with three digital
voltage controllers, including all-new DRAM controllers that offers
ultra-precise memory tuning in addition to ultra-precise CPU voltage control.
This evolution of innovative, industry-leading ASUS technology provides the best
in class control for better efficiency, stability and performance.

Best in class power efficiency and stability

Two critical components work perfectly together to match digital power signal
(SVID) requests from the CPU, with ultra-fast sensing and response to
efficiently deliver the right level of power on demand. Accurate power reduces
wasteful voltage imprecision, and provides more a stable CPU and memory setup.

8 DIMM Design. X79 Done Right

Support for up to 64GB of system memory with an 8-DIMM design on ASUS X79
motherboards provides the capacity for users to make full use of modern 64-bit
software, ideal for rendering detailed images or manipulating large files
without the bottlenecks of conventional storage. It also allows users to set up
big RAM disks and speed up frequently accessed programs, minimizing the impact
of storage transfer delays while maximizing user benefit.

SSD caching from ASUS is easier than ever. At 3X faster, this feature boosts
system performance by using an installed SSD with no capacity limitations as a
cache for frequently accessed data. Harness a combination of SSD-like
performance and response and hard drive capacity with just one click, no
rebooting needed and instant activation for complete ease of use.

Easy, worry-free USB BIOS Flashback

USB BIOS Flashback offers the most convenient way to flash the BIOS ever! It
allows overclockers to try new BIOS versions easily, without even entering their
existing BIOS or operating system. Just plug in USB storage and push the
dedicated button for 3 seconds, and the BIOS is automatically flashed using
standby power. Worry-free overclocking for the ultimate convenience!
